Dan, 

You put out more free software than ANY of us combined.  You definitely
don't have to apologize for ANYTHING!  (GRIN)

I don't know if you'd heard, but the new Icom rigs coming that hit the FCC
database this last week -- one of their goals was to unify the programming
software between the new mobile and the new HT.  Of course, there will
always be plenty of us out here with the other rigs, but thought I'd mention
it.  

They've tasked RT Systems with writing software that will handle both the
ID-880H mobile and the ID-80 one-band at a time/dual-band HT... or whatever
they're actually called when they hit the U.S. market.

It will be interesting to see if the software is "translating" and the two
rigs actually don't speak the same standard, or if they're identical "under
the hood" on the serial line.

Hi all,

It has been ages since I got out an update to CHIRP.  My apologies for
that.  Other things have taken priority, as usual.
